COMMENTS: This is the nicest red zircon I've cut so far.
It has a color that reminds me of a rhodolite garnet, and doesn't show
the secondary brown tones that many of the African red zircons display.
It's also not as dark as most of this size. The cut is a double barion
design on the bottom, and a fancy sawtooth on the crown. Note that
this is a ten sided stone. It also shows a bit of dispersion or diamond-like
color flashes in sunlight. None of the other larger red zircons I've
cut did that, probably because they were darker.
